This was such a cool tour of Albuquerque. I really enjoyed how it covered so much—from the history behind the city's name (did you know it comes from a Spanish Duke and was originally spelled with an extra "r" as Alburquerque?) to all the Breaking Bad filming locations, plus local sports like the University of New Mexico Lobos and both of the city’s minor league teams. It was a great mix of history, pop culture, and local pride. The guide was knowledgeable, and it was definitely bang for the buck. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting the area or even locals who want to see their city in a new light.

Too much gossip about a tv show and a movie made in Albuquerque. Would have much preferred more historical and cultural information.
